Brothers leads Predators to first preseason victory
andrew brethauer August 27th, 2011


Forest, ON - Kyle Brothers scored four goals Saturday night, in a 7-6 victory for the Lambton Shores Predators over the St. Mary's Lincolns.

Brothers, who played last season for the Alvinston Flyers in Junior C hockey, scored the last four goals of the game for the Predators including three in the final period of play.

Lambton Shores would take the lead in the middle of the first, as Sam Jasmin would make it a 1-0 game. Cam Downie would make it 2-0 for the Predators two minutes later.

But the Lincolns would close the gap, as Kurtis Lavis brought St. Mary's to within one, while Adam Lavine would score on the powerplay to tie the game at the end of the first.

To start the second, St. Mary's would take their first lead of the game, as Josh Bradshaw made it 3-2. But the Predators would not let the lead last long, as Adam Arsenault would tie the game at 3-3 midway through the second.

That is when Brothers would take over for the Predators, scoring his first goal at 16:12 of the second period, giving the Predators the 4-3 lead heading into the third.

In the third, Brothers would score his second of the game two minutes into the period, giving Lambton Shores their two goal lead back. But in the next seven minutes, St. Mary's would battle back to retake the lead, as Mike Mandarelli, Dale Morningstar and Mike Siddall each scored, allowing the Lincolns to take a 6-5 lead.

But Brothers would complete his hat-trick to tie the game at 6-6, and with the game looking like it would go into overtime, Brothers would score his third of the period and fourth of the game to give the Predators a 7-6 lead, and eventually the victory.

Brandon Campbell stopped 21 shots in the victory, as the ex-Alvinson Flyers would help to pick up the Predators first win of the preseason.

The win is a much needed confidence boost for the Predators who won 4 games last season.

Lambton Shores will now head to Lucan to take on St. Mary's again.
